Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Luther, Vol. 4 "His most elaborate and systematic biography. . . is not merely a book to be reckoned with; it is one with which we cannot dispense, if only for its minute examination of Luther´s theological writings." - The Athenoeum (Vol. I). "The second volume of Dr. Grisar´s ´Life of Luther´ is fully as interesting as the first. There is the same minuteness of criticism and the same width of survey." - The Athenoeum (Vol. II). "Its interest increases. As we see the great Reformer in the thick of his work, and the heyday of his life, the absorbing attraction of his personality takes hold of us more and more strongly. His stupendous force, his amazing vitality, his superhuman interest in life, impress themselves upon us with redoubled effect. We find him the most multiform, the most paradoxical of men. The present volume, which is admirably translated, deals rather with the moral, social, and personal side of Luther´s career than with his theology." - The Athenoeum (Vol. III). "There is no room for any sort of question as to the welcome ready among English-speaking Roman Catholics for this admirably made translation of the first volume of the German monograph by Professor Grisar on the protagonist of the Reformation in Europe. The book is so studiously scientific, so careful to base its teaching upon documents, and so determined to eschew controversies that are only theological, that it cannot but deeply interest Protestant readers." - The Scotsman. "Father Grisar has gained a high reputation in this country through the translation of his monumental work on the History of Rome and the Popes in the Middle Ages, and this first instalment of his ´Life of Luther´ bears fresh witness to his unwearied industry, wide learning, and scrupulous anxiety to be impartial in his judgments as well as absolutely accurate in matters of fact." - Glasgow Herald. "This ´Life of Luther´ is bound to become standard. . . a model of every literary, critical, and scholarly virtue." - The Month. "Like its two predecessors, Volume III excels in the minute analysis not merely of Luther´s actions, but also of his writings; indeed, this feature is the outstanding merit of the author´s patient labours." - The Irish Times. "This third volume of Father Grisar´s monumental ´Life´ is full of Interest for the theologian. And not less for the psychologist; for here more than ever the author allows himself to probe into the mind and motives and understanding of Luther, so as to get at the significance of his development." - The Tablet.
